AMERICANA and Folk duo The Black Feathers release their eagerly awaited debut album Soaked To The Bone on February 26 on Blue House Music and have announced dates for a UK tour.

Cirencester husband and wife Sian Chandler and Ray Hughes, recorded Soaked To The Bone back in March 2015 with co-produced Richard Neuberg (Viarosa).

The first single released from the album, Down By The River, premiered on Folk Radio UK in late 2015, with the world exclusive first play on BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris show.

The album also includes charity single Winter Moves In.

Sian and Ray married in 2012, which also marked the beginning of their musical adventure as The Black Feathers.

They designed the band logo on honeymoon and the music soon followed.

This close collaboration became the backbone of The Black Feathers’ sound. Whether playing to a 1,500 strong audience at the Colston Hall in Bristol, or to 80 crammed in to the Green Note in London, The Black Feathers give an intimate performance.

The band have wasted no time in getting their music heard in venues around the UK, playing a multitude of shows and festivals up and down the country as well as tours in Germany, Holland and in the USA including a sell out show at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee.

  •  Catch The Black Feathers at Under The Edge Arts in Wotton-under-Edge on Saturday, March 12 (utea.org.uk) and The Subscription Rooms in Stroud on Saturday, March 26 (subscriptionrooms.org.uk).
